To this aim we introduce several new concepts of second-order directional derivatives for set-valued maps by means of excess from a set to another one, and discuss some of their properties. By virtue of these directional derivatives and by adopting the notion of set criterion intoduced by Kuroiwa, we obtain second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions in the primal form. Moreover, under some additional assumptions we obtain dual second-order necessary optimality conditions in terms of Lagrange–Fritz–John and in terms of Lagrange–Karush–Kuhn–Tucker multipliers.</p>","PeriodicalId":54596,"journal":{"name":"Positivity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141547694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces a variational formulation approach to model and analyze trust and reputation systems.

The variational formulation provides a mathematical framework to determine the equilibrium weighted trust values, taking into account that each trustee tries to maximize its gain, namely the benefit minus the costs. The paper illustrates the applicability of this variational formulation through a pletora of simulations, demonstrating its effectiveness in modeling trust and reputation systems.
